[QUOTE="Bright Raven, post: 1582932, member: 27490"] 1. Agree. They fill a need. The world runs on metrics. How much horse power? How fast does it go? What does it weigh? Some people who expect EPDs to walk, talk, and dance live in lalaland. They expect perfection where none is intended. EPDs are a solution to putting metrics on performance, function and traits. 2. Club cattle is a real business. Just like prostitution and sitting in a bar drinking is real business. Not for everyone but it is business. 3. Disagree. Most purebred breeders are trying to meet the needs of the commercial producer. A breeder recognizes what his market demands. Then if he is smart, he will fill that need so he can exchange his stock for currency. I will use any bull that my market demands. If they want a bull sired by Sanchez the Beefsteak, I will try to get it. 4. You left out the man who sells breeding stock to commercial cattle producers. 5. Disagree. Most seedstock producers are trying to run a balance sheet that turns a profit. Most will never sell a $10,000 animal. I have nothing against the high dollar club, in fact, may they prosper, but that is not the mainstream. 6. Perceived value is real valve when you convert it to currency. 7. Disagree. I know a lot of high profile PB breeders who average under $5000 a head for what they sell in the course of a year. I am small potatoes as a PB breeder but I have sold bulls for more than the average price the big names get. Commercial producers know they don't have to go to a NAME to get good livestock. [/QUOTE]
